About our washroom sealing in Portgordon

Whether it’s a single toilet block in Portgordon or a programme across several buildings, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. Most enquiries involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Portgordon is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Portgordon tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Keeping the joints sound

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
  • Share your site rules when you send details
  • Report split joints at trays and basins early
  • Report faulty extraction promptly

Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.

Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Quoting for work in Portgordon

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • Working within restricted access windows
  • Joint width, depth and condition

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What to include in your enquiry

However big the job, the same details help:

  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • When you need the work done
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

How the job changes by surface

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.

Urinals and WC pans

Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone after the old bead and residue are removed.

Sanitary sealant for Portgordon buildings

Portgordon is within about 1 mile of the coast, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Portgordon is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.

At a school such as Buckie High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Units at estates like March Road Industrial Estate (2.8 miles east of Portgordon) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. Toilets at colleges like Moray College UHI - Buckie Learning Centre (to the north-east of Portgordon) take heavy use from students and staff alike.

Portgordon is about 2 miles south-west of Buckie, in Moray. We cover commercial sites throughout Portgordon, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Portgordon is one of 59 places in Moray on our list. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 48 miles away.

Commercial sites across AB56 are covered for washrooms and wet areas. For a building on Station Road, Richmond Terrace and Crown Terrace or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Portgordon, we cover Arradoul (1 mile east), Buckie (2 miles north-east), Upper Dallachy (2 miles south-west), Nether Dallachy (2 miles west) and Bogmoor (2 miles west). Further afield, our area takes in Elgin (11 miles west), Lossiemouth (11 miles west), Keith (9 miles south), Ashgrove (11 miles west), Portknockie (6 miles north-east) and Cullen (8 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

What’s near Portgordon

Well-known places in the area include Gordon Castle (3.9 miles south-west) and Seafield Hospital (1.4 miles east). Not far away are The Lake.

When something else is needed

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Vanity carcasses that have swollen
  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
  • Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first

If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • IPS panels and cubicles
  • Accessible toilets and changing rooms
  • Showers, trays and wet room floors
  • Kitchens and tea points
  • Urinals and WCs
  • Vanity units and basins

When to bring in a specialist

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Portgordon: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Portgordon outside your area?

Not at all. Portgordon is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Seafield Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

How do you choose the sealant?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Is old silicone taken out first?

The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.

What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?

Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.

On site: what to expect

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For a building near Portgordon, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

  1. We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. The whole of the old bead is removed.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

What we need from you

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
